The unity and oneness of the church is prime evidence for the truth of the Good News. If we fail to live in unity then the world will fail to believe the gospel message we speak.

Like Joseph storing up grain during the years of plenty to be used during the years of famine that lay ahead, may we store up truths of God’s Word in our hearts as much as possible, so that we are prepared for whatever suffering we are called upon to endure. ~Billy Graham~
Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace. ~C.H. Spurgeon~
We will not bow before each other, only before God. We should therefore not expect others to conform to our image, only to His. We will not give an account of ourselves to each other, only to God.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion - it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ. ~Billy Graham~
“The self-sufficient do not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.” —

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men to look to themselves for salvation. ~C.H. Spurgeon~
Do you believe in God's wrath? Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in the world today who do not. They believe they can continue on in sin and the God who is Love will also forgive. However, there is only one way to be forgiven our sin and that is with the blood of Jesus.

“The storm was raging. The sea was beating against the rocks in huge, dashing waves. The lightning flashed, the thunder roared, the wind blew; but the little bird was sound asleep in the crevice of the rock, its head tucked serenely under its wing. That is peace: to be able to sleep in the storm! In Christ we are relaxed and at peace in the midst of confusions, bewilderments, and perplexities of this life. The storm rages, but our hearts are at rest. We have found peace—at last!” —
Billy Graham
“The love of God, as manifested in Jesus Christ, is what I would wish to be the abiding object of my contemplation;…so to feel it, and my own interest in it, as to have my heart filled with its effects, and transformed into its resemblance.”
—John Newton
Do you follow the Ten Commandments of God? Before you answer too quickly consider: Number 1. How important is your standard of living -- have material possessions become your god? What about number 6? Jesus tells us that if we've ever looked at a woman lustfully we have committed adultery with her. That's a pretty tough law when in our society, lust is encouraged in every magazine advertisement and television commercial, and actual adultery is more commonplace than fidelity. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. We are all guilty, to one degree or another of both sins against God and sin against man. I guess the question is this: What will you do about it?

What is the Lord speaking against to you now? Are you steering against the current? Are you willfully being disobedient to His will?

God is at work in your life!
He is right now using the situation you’re into mold, shape, and conform you into the likeness of Jesus

You cannot be Christ’s servant if you are not willing to follow him, cross and all… ~C.H. Spurgeon~
If believers do not know how to crucify themselves––deny themselves––then they are not Christ-like. Self should be put in the grave––that is dying to self.
Raul Ries
There is often too much self in our zeal, and too much of the fear of man in our prudence.

Life seems to have broken its promises—regrets and unfulfilled plans abound. But God is not unjust. Because He cares, this is not our only chance at life on Earth. On the New Earth countless missed opportunities from this life will be ours for the asking.

Jesus was not merely resuscitated from the dead in the same body. He was resurrected in a new body, patterned after the old yet equipped and fitted for heaven.
David Guzik
Although the threads of my life have often seemed knotted, I know, by faith, that on the other side of the embroidery there is a crown. ~Corrie ten Boom~
Grace means God moving heaven and earth to save sinners who could not lift a finger to save themselves. ~J.I. Packer~
This is a time when all God’s people need to keep their eyes and their Bibles wide open. We must ask God for discernment as never before. ~David Jeremiah~
